Such electronic database, whether provided by the state or the designated database provider, shall be provided in a format approved by the American National Standards Institute's accredited standards committee X12, which, allowing for de minimis deviations, designates for each street address in the town, including, to the extent practicable, any multiple postal street addresses applicable to one street location, the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, and the appropriate code identified by one nationwide standard numeric code. b.

Safe Harbor: If neither the state nor the designated database provider provides an electronic database, a home service provider shall be held harmless from any tax, charge or fee liability in the town that otherwise would be due solely as a result of an assignment of a street address to an incorrect taxing jurisdiction, if the home service provider employs an enhanced zip code to assign each street address to a specific taxing jurisdiction and exercises due diligence to ensure that each such street address is assigned to the correct taxing jurisdiction. If an enhanced zip code overlaps boundaries of taxing jurisdictions of the same level, the home service provider must designate one specific jurisdiction within such enhanced zip code for use in taxing the activity for such enhanced zip code. Any enhanced zip code assignment changed is deemed to be in compliance with this section. For purposes of this section, there is a rebuttable presumption that a home service provider has exercised due diligence if the home service provider demonstrates that it has: a. Expended reasonable resources to implement and maintain an appropriately detailed electronic database of street address assignments to taxing jurisdictions; b. Implemented and maintained reasonable internal controls to promptly correct misassignments of street addresses to taxing jurisdictions; and c. Used all reasonably obtainable and usable data pertaining to municipal annexations, incorporations, reorganizations, and any other changes in jurisdictional boundaries that materially affect the accuracy of such database. 2. Termination Of Safe Harbor: Subsection D1 of this section, "safe harbor", applies to a home service provider that is in compliance with the requirements of the "safe harbor" subsection with respect to a state for which an electronic database is not provided, until the later of: a. Eighteen (18) months after the nationwide standard numeric code has been approved by the federation of tax administrators and the multistate tax commission; or b. Six (6) months after the state or a designated database provider in the state provides such database. (Ord. 00-007, 11-28-2000, eff. 1-1-2001)

The ordinance will include: a) a schedule of impact fees to be imposed for each type of system improvement; or b) the formula to be used by the town in calculating each impact fee, or both. A copy of this requirement is included in exhibit B attached to ordinance 99-001, "Impact Fee Study". 4. Adjustments: The standard impact fee may be adjusted at the time the fee is charged in response to unusual circumstances or to fairly allocate costs associated with impacts created by a development activity or project. The standard impact fee may also be adjusted to ensure that impact fees are imposed fairly for affordable housing projects, in accordance with the town affordable housing policy, and other development activities with broad public purposes. 5. Previously Incurred Costs: To the extent that the new growth and development will be served by previously constructed improvements, the town impact fee may include public facility costs previously incurred by the town. The costs may include transportation and parks and recreation system improvements constructed with previously issued bonds and/or capital improvement reserve funds; the reimbursable costs under existing and future agreements with the developers for system improvements; and all projects included in the reasonable capital projects plan which are under construction or completed but have not been utilized to their capacity. B. Developer Credits: A developer may be allowed a credit against impact fees for any dedication of land or improvement to, or new construction of, system improvements provided by the developer provided that: 1) it is identified in the town reasonable capital projects plan; and 2) required by the town as a condition of approving the development activity. Otherwise, no credit may be allowed. C. Impact Fees Accounting: 1. Accounting, Reporting Requirements: The town shall fallow the accounting and reporting requirements of Utah Code Annotated section 11-36-301. (Ord. 99-001, 3-23-1999; amd. 2010 Code) 2. Impact Fee Expenditures: The town may expend impact fees covered by impact fees policy only for system improvements that are: a) public facilities identified in the town reasonable capital projects plan; and b) of the specific public facility type for which the fee was collected. 3. Time Of Expenditure: Impact fees collected pursuant to the requirements of this impact fees policy are to be either expended, dedicated or encumbered for a permissible use within six (6) years of the receipt of those funds by the town, unless the town council otherwise directs. For purposes of this calculation, the first funds received shall be deemed to be the first funds expended. 4. Extension Of Time: The town may hold previously dedicated or unencumbered fees for longer than six (6) years if it identifies in writing: a) an extraordinary and compelling reason why the fees should be held longer than six (6) years; and b) an absolute date by which the fees will be expended.

D. Refunds: The town shall refund any impact fees paid by a developer, plus interest actually earned, when: 1) the developer does not proceed with the development activity and files a written request for a refund; 2) the fees have not been spent or encumbered; and 3) no impact has resulted. An impact that would preclude a developer from a refund from the town may include any impact reasonably identified by the town, including, but not limited to, the town having sized facilities and/or paid for, installed and/or caused the installation of facilities based, in whole or in part, upon the developer's planned development activity even though that capacity may, at some future time, be utilized by another development. E. Other Impact Fees: To the extent allowed by law, the town council may negotiate or otherwise impose impact fees and other fees different from those currently charged. Those charges may, in the discretion of the town council, include, but not be limited to, reductions or increases in impact fees, all or part of which may be reimbursed to the developer who installed improvements that service the land to be connected with the town systems. F. Additional Fees And Costs: The impact fees authorized hereby are separate from and in addition to user fees and offer charges lawfully imposed by the town, such as engineering and inspection fees, and other fees and costs that may not be included as itemized component parts of the impact fee schedule. In charging any such fees as a condition of development approval, the town recognizes that the fees must be a reasonable charge for the service provided. G. Fees Effective At Time Of Payment: Unless the town is otherwise bound by a contractual requirement, the impact fee shall be determined from the fee schedule in effect at the time of payment in accordance with the provisions of section 2-10A-5 of this article. H. Imposition Of Additional Fee Or Refund After Development: Should any developer undertake development activities such that the ultimate density or other impact of the development activity is not revealed to the town, either through inadvertence, neglect, a change in plans, or any other cause whatsoever, and/or the impact fee is not initially charged against all units or the total density within the development, the town shall be entitled to charge an additional impact fee to the developer or other appropriate person covering the density for which an impact fee was not previously paid. (Ord. 99-001, 3-231999)

2-10A-4: CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN: A.

B. Elements: The analysis may contain such elements as deemed relevant by the town. To the extent applicable and available, the analysis will identify the following: 1) the cost of existing facilities; 2) the manner of financing those facilities; 3) the relative extent to which newly developed properties and other properties have already contributed to the cost of existing public facilities; 4) the relative extent to which newly developed properties and other properties will contribute to the cost of existing public facilities in the future; 5) the extent, if

any, to which newly developed properties are entitled to a credit because the town is requiring the developer, by contractual arrangement or otherwise, to provide common facilities inside or outside the proposed development that have been provided by the town and financed through general taxation or other means, apart from user charges, in other parts of the town; 6) any extraordinary costs in servicing the newly developed property; and 7) the time-price differential that may be inherent in comparisons of amounts paid at different times (impact fee study).

I.

Record Of Proceedings: After having been served with a copy of the pleadings initiating the town court review, the town shall submit to the court the record of the proceedings before the town, including minutes, and, if available, a true and correct transcript of any proceedings. If the town is able to provide a record of the proceedings, the town court's review is limited, by Utah Code Annotated section 11-36-401(5)(c), to the record. The court may not accept or consider evidence outside of the record of proceedings before the town unless the evidence was offered to the town and improperly excluded in the proceedings before the town. If the record is inadequate however, the court may call witnesses and take evidence. The court is to affirm the town's decision if the decision is supported by substantial evidence in the record.

Impact fees collected prior to the effective date hereof need not meet the requirements in the subsection. 1. Reporting: At the end of each fiscal year, the town shall prepare a report on each fund or account generally showing the source and amount of all monies collected, earned and received by the fund or account, and each expenditure from the fund or account. 2. Impact Fee Expenditures: The town may expend impact fees covered by the impact fees policy only for system improvements that are: a) public facilities identified in the town capital facilities plan; and b) of the specific public facility type for which the fee was collected. Impact fees will be expended on a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. 3. Time Of Expenditure: Impact fees collected pursuant to the requirements of this impact fees article are to be expended, dedicated or encumbered for a permissible use within six (6) years of the receipt of those funds by the town, unless the town council directs otherwise. For purposes of this calculation, the first funds received shall be deemed to be the first funds expended. 4. Extension Of Time: The town may hold previously dedicated or unencumbered fees for longer than six (6) years if it identifies in writing: a) an extraordinary and compelling reason why the fees should be held longer than six (6) years; and b) an absolute date by which the fees will be expended. D. Refunds: The town shall refund any impact fees paid by a developer, plus interest actually earned, when: 1) the developer does not proceed with the development activity and files a written request for a refund; 2) the fees have not been spent or encumbered; and 3) no impact has resulted. An impact that would preclude a developer from a refund from the

town may include any impact reasonably identified by the town, including, but not limited to, the town having sized facilities and/or paid for, installed and/or caused the installation of facilities based in whole or in part upon the developer's planned development activity even though that capacity may, at some future time, be utilized by another development. E. Other Impact Fees: To the extent allowed by law, the town council may negotiate or otherwise impose impact fees and other fees different from those currently charged. Those charges may, at the discretion of the town council, include, but not be limited to, reductions or increases in impact fees, all or part of which may be reimbursed to the developer who installed improvements that service the land to be connected with the town system. F. Additional Fees And Costs: The impact fees authorized hereby are separate from and in addition to user fees and other charges lawfully imposed by the town and other fees and costs that may not be included as itemized component parts of the impact fee schedule. In charging any such fees as a condition of development approval, the town recognizes that the fees must be a reasonable charge for the service provided. G. Fees Effective At Time Of Payment: Unless the town is otherwise bound by a contractual requirement, the impact fee shall be determined from the fee schedule in effect at the time of payment in accordance with the provisions of section 2-10D-6 of this article. H. Imposition Of Additional Fee Or Refund After Development Activity: Should any developer undertake development activities such that the ultimate density or other impact of the development activity is not revealed to the town, either through inadvertence, neglect, a change in plans, or any other cause whatsoever, and/or the impact fee is not initially charged against all units or the total density within the development, the town shall be entitled to charge an additional impact fee to the developer or other appropriate person covering the density for which an impact fee was not previously paid.

2-10D-5: CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN: The town has developed a culinary water capital facilities plan for the town culinary water system. The culinary water capital facilities plan has been prepared based on reasonable growth assumptions for the town wide service area, and analyzes the general demand characteristics of current and future users of each system. Furthermore, the capital facilities plan identifies the impact on system improvements created by development activity and estimates the proportionate share of the costs of impacts on system improvements that are reasonably related to new development activity.

2-10D-6: IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE AND FORMULA1: A. Maximum Supportable Impact Fees: 1. The fee schedule included herein represents the maximum impact fees which the town may impose on development within the defined townwide service area and are based upon general demand characteristics and potential demand that can be created by

each class of user. The town reserves the right under the impact fees act, Utah Code Annotated section 11-36-202(2)(c),(d), to assess an adjusted fee to respond to unusual circumstances to ensure that fees are equitably assessed. 2. This adjustment may result in a higher impact fee if the town determines that a user would create a greater than normal impact on any of the systems. The town may also decrease the impact fee if the developer can provide documentation that the proposed impact will be less than what could be expected, given the type of user (Utah Code Annotated section 11-36-202(3)(a)). B. Actual Impact Fee Determination: The town is seeking funding from various sources which may or may not include grant monies. The town is not able to recoup costs of capital facilities paid through federal grants, but can do so for the loan portion only. The actual impact fee will be set at or below the following recommended maximum impact fee prior to the effective date hereof and will be listed on the town consolidated fee schedule before May 25, 2009, which is the effective date of this article.

The Town Council may, on a project by project basis, authorize exceptions or adjustments to the impact fees due from development for those projects the Town Council determines to be of such benefit to the community as a whole to justify the exception or adjustment.

housing projects, or facilities of a temporary nature. The Town Council may elect to waive or adjust impact fees in consideration of economic benefits to be received from the developer's activity. B. Applications for exceptions are to be filed with the town at the time the applicant first requests the extension of service to the applicant's development or property.
